Chapter 435: The Fool

When the dragon realm fell into the predicament of water and fire, in the royal capital of Baier, which was separated by a wall, this ancient capital that had gone through countless years fell into silence, or it should be said that it was an artificial purge.

Different from the silence of the past, after the defeat on the Eastern Front, the royal knights of the royal capital acted aggressively, imposing martial law and curfew on the entire city, and those princes who took the opportunity to make trouble were dragged to the streets and beheaded by the public, and it seems that the "Scorpion Emperor" Oros XIII, who has turned into a good man, once again let the world see his cruelty.

"Helent will become a new generation of emperors."

When the Eastern Front was defeated and the wind and rain were shaking, the old emperor reiterated his opinion to the countrymen and the great lords under all the pressure.

Opposition in person? Kill.

Behind the scenes? Kill.

The prince colluded with the fiefdom lord? Kill.

Just complaining to servants and relatives and friends in your own mansion? Same, kill.

The old emperor who always smiles on weekdays, the kind old man who can laugh when he is assassinated, is just sipping tea in his study at this time, smiling and saying "kill" one by one, and the equally crazy royal knights are also silently carrying out one killing task after another, even if it is hanging a child under the age of ten on the city wall, even if it will crush the knightly honor and chivalry under his feet.

"Anyone who has any doubts about Helent's succession, regardless of status, age, or merit, will be killed."

This was the will of the old emperor, and the royal knights carried out it silently, even if the Bair people could not understand the old emperor's sudden madness, and could not look directly at the sudden killing. Especially the big lord Proton, who was slaughtered recently due to collusion with the prince. It has already plunged the great nobles of the frontier into a fury.

See if this goes on. If the Holy War Coalition and the Undead Empire don't fight, Bayer will go through civil strife first, what is the wise old emperor doing in the past? Is he ruining the empire he has built in his life?

Even standing beside Helent, the always neutral dragon knight could not understand the sudden madness of the old emperor, but because of the primary loyalty of chivalry, he could not stop it, but everyone knew that this was not normal. Nor can it last long.

I'm afraid that even if Helent succeeds to the throne like this, as long as the old emperor falls, the backlash and revenge caused by the crazy killing and oppression will also end miserably.

And the fall of the hand of miracles, while amazementing, saddening, and helpless the world, did Helender and Baier a great favor.

The Holy War Alliance, which was becoming a worsening cancer, was stopped, and the irresistible will of the God of Light was stopped, even if only for a brief moment, and Estrada won the victory of the mortals with his own sacrifice. Bayer has also lost the looming threat of the sword.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In this way, the old emperor should be calm. ”

And some things have exceeded everyone's expectations. The old emperor not only did not stop, but intensified.

Taking advantage of the crisis to raise prices and hoard? Kill.

Those who have a close relationship with the great nobles of the feudal clan and are related to each other? Kill.

Nothing has been done, but the position is high and powerful, and it is possible to influence the future succession of Herent? Kill.

looked at the old emperors who had been fighting each other for twenty years, but they still said the word "kill" with a smile, and watched the blood of the imperial capital flow into a river.

Even after Helent, another party to the incident, ran over to argue with him, he still didn't change, but Helent herself kept her door shut.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If Bayer wants to survive in the future, only Helent can inherit the throne, and it doesn't matter how he came up. As for myself...... Hehe, wait and see. ”

In the whole country, only a few people can approach Oros's study and listen to him slowly explain his thoughts.

At this time, the old emperor was listening to the report of the spy leader and the chief knight.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Judging from the information gathered by our spies, due to the inability to find out your current purpose, the Duke of Kafei and the Earl of Berland have postponed the operation of integrating private troops, it seems that they are worried that they will be regarded as the primary target by you, but some things are no different from what we predicted in the past, as long as you ...... If you 'leave', they will definitely rebel, and now it's just a pause. ”

"Oh, old fellows. Forget it, what is the daily trade situation in the country. Are prices still about twice as much? ”

"It's very good, after a number of those profiteers died, now they are much more stable, and they have dropped from twenty-five times the highest peak to one or three. Coupled with your high-pressure policy and the promise of His Highness Highness Hai Lunte's personal letter, most of them have already secretly pledged their allegiance to His Highness, as long as the minions are removed, what can the businessmen who have no status do in the first place, at least there will be no problem in the short term. ”

"My other boys who don't fight for it?"

"All those who may pose a threat have been executed, and the rest have announced the dissolution of relations with the royal family of Bayer, and all the princes are under surveillance. But the counterpart to that is your reputation...... Some people already call you the White Dragon. ”

"White Dragon?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The white dragon of the child-eater. ”

Oros nodded but didn't ask, didn't even look at the information, and directly lowered his head to drink tea, for him who had already abandoned a qiΔ“, such foul words were nothing to him, and what he was about to do next would be even more excessive, maybe he would become the number one tyrant and fool in the history of Bayer, but for the sake of the "big plan", the incomprehension and slander of outsiders are nothing.

The old man just closed his eyes slowly, and didn't ask anything again, everyone else retreated, and when the study fell into calm again, the three people in the secret room walked out, in a sense, these three are the core layer of the entire Bayer now.

Pope Emoyer I, the Southern Church, who also served as the court governor of Bayer, was the brother of Oros in life and death, and the object of his greatest trust, but in his hands was the entire Southern Sect and the religious power of Bayer.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Great work. ”

"Hehe, it's better than expected, and the church is still bothering you. There is the sacrifice of the hand of miracles.

At this time, the old Pope Emoye was also full of exhaustion. The debut battle that the Southern Sect had given great hope to was hit hard before, and if it weren't for Estrada's sacrifice to stabilize people's hearts, I'm afraid that the Southern Sect would have a big problem.

Another old mage in a purple violet cloak, known as "The Fool", is also the president of the Bayer Wizards' Guild, but he has been unusually low-key in the past, and few people have seen his true face. At this time, he also showed his true face, but he was a silver-haired old man with no special characteristics, but if the heretical inquisitors of the Templar Church saw it, I am afraid that all the mad dogs would pour out of their nests.

But if Roland were here, I'm afraid there would be a lot of room for communication with him, yes, he was Thrace, the mad mage Thrace, the fool who "knew too much and still spoke".

"On the Mage Guild's side, there is also communication with the Mage Country. I'm afraid we're going to bother you a lot, and we're going to let you break your oath and come back. Also ......"

"I know, needless to say, there are some things that are destined to be inescapable, since you are all willing to gamble, how can the old man back down. It's just that...... It's a pity that when Estrada forced me to swear to retire, I never thought that there would be such a day. ”

The old mage, who was regarded as a madman, had neat and shiny silver hair, and his gorgeous robe was rare among mages, but at this time, thinking of his old friend finally falling into such a fate, Thrace shook his head, his face full of unbearable.

"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity."

In the end, he can only make such an assessment.

"Mentor, we are all all along the way, in a sense, he just took the first step, which should be worth rejoicing about......"

Perhaps not many people know that Oros once studied in the Tower of the Clouds when he was young, and even became a disciple of the reclusive archmage Thrace at that time with the help of someone who had a heart.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Oros Majesty xiΓ . ”

And the last one approached, but it was not a Bayer at all, but ......

"It's time."

Lilith. On Milan's arm, the emerald's original brilliance had begun to dissipate, and the cracks gradually widened on it, and soon, the twin cat's eye green, which was worth ten thousand gold, would become worthless residue.

And this pair of twins of special magic gems processed by gemology, one of which is ruined and the other is also destroyed, this causal connection can break through the blockade of a qiΔ“, it is an extremely rare and precious teleportation device, the finished product needs at least half a large number of gold coins of the knights, and being able to use such a one-time teleportation device is enough to show the severity of the immediate incident.

And when the emerald in front of him turns into slag, there is only one possibility, Roland in the dragon realm crushes another gem, and the whole "big plan" will be started by Oros in front of him.

And at this time Lilith. Milan, however, is not only the spokesperson of Roland and the Church of the Law, but the familiar sumptuous court dress and royal insignia undoubtedly illustrate the fact that she has returned to the royal family of Bair!

"Lilith...... Sister, excuse me, please take up the position of regent until Helent is truly mature, as the only pure royal family of the Bayer royal family at present. ”

Lilith. Milan...... No, it should be said that the eldest princess and regent of Lilith nodded, if she could, she didn't want to get into this trouble at all, but the person in front of her used his own ideas and sacrifices to convince her, making her feel that at this point in time, if she can't do something, I'm afraid she will also be sorry for her deceased relatives.

Looking around, the old emperor sighed, he knew that this was probably the last day he saw this study and his friends.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Unexpectedly, after enduring it for a lifetime, I still have to endure it in the end. You say, I'm not a qualified emperor. ”

"Of course, my majesty. Without you, there would be no Bayer, and perhaps the night would be long, and perhaps countless mad dogs would come out to bite your corpse, but the clouds will not obscure the sun forever, and eventually your reputation for wisdom will spread again in this land. ”

The old Pope, the old butler of the past, bowed slightly, but there were tears in his squinting old eyes.

"Oros, why bother with the opinions of those fools, I am always proud of you, old man."

Threston, who was not very good at words, paused and nodded in an affirmative tone.

"I know you don't care about these false names, but I do think you're amazing, more amazing than me."

Being able to get the affirmation of his mentor and old friends, the old emperor smiled with relief, maybe the world will not be able to understand his choice, but it is enough to have a confidant in life, and it is enough to have the understanding of these two relatives.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's enough, for the sake of the mortal world, it's up to me to destroy all the gates of the dragon realm. ”

Gates of the Dragon Realm? Yes, the gate to the Dragon Realm, if all the gates and dimensional coordinates leading to an alien plane are lost, that alien plane will also lose its trace in the eyes of the main plane, and destroying all the gates of the dragon realm will also mean that the dragon clan will lose its three major gathering places, and it also means that the entire main plane will lose its connection with that alien plane.

This can't be done at all in an ordinary plane, after all, I don't know how many scattered connections there are, but in order to hold this plane, the dragon clan also maintains all the dimensional gates and teleportation points, and those three teleportation points are all in the country of Bayer! It was guarded by dragon knights and dragons...... Yes, Evenly is one of the guards, and the strongest guard, and obviously, the dragons have chosen the wrong person.

And to re-establish a contact with the heterotopic plane, it takes a lot of time, at least two or three years, but the recovery of the Titans is imminent, once the dragon clan loses reinforcements, it means that those dragons who live in the dragon realm will all face death, which is definitely beyond the expectations of the entire dragon clan, the dragon's wrath will inevitably come, and the choice of Helent as the next emperor, perhaps the reason is far simpler than expected, just because he is half a dragon bloodline may be accepted by the dragon clan and keep the country.

As for this person who committed such an incomprehensible crime, he will naturally become the target of revenge of the dragons, and even because of the "lost Roland and the Absolute Gentleman Alliance mercenary group", the northern countries will also turn against Bayer, but the most dangerous thing is that the dragons are betrayed under the rage, if they are not willing to just use Oros to vent their hatred, then the entire Bayer may usher in the end of ruining Miè.

And at the risk of being ruined, doing such an evil deed, Baier and Oros will not get any benefit, on the contrary, the dragons who were originally allies will become mortal enemies, and the northern countries, which were originally allies, will become "mortal enemies", at least on the surface, so what is he for. Is it just for the Dragon Realm to be reduced to a hunting ground for the Titans and for Bayer to get rid of this ticking time bomb? How stupid and short-sighted it is, Oros will become the stupidest emperor ever.

"Fools? Oh, that's really commensurate, Mentor, maybe I'll become the 'Fool King' in the future." ”

"No, people think I'm wise, I just want to remind myself that I'm just a fool who thinks I'm smart. But you have seen too far and too far to be regarded as stupid by fools, which is a proof of your wisdom. ”

Perhaps, for those who have a heart, let a stupid conspiracy fail and be hanged on the gallows, just to hide a more hidden conspiracy.

"O mortal world, unfortunately, I don't have the possibility of seeing him with my own eyes."

Aoros, who was whispering, couldn't help but think of the deep conversation with Roland some time ago, when the old emperor spoke like this.

"Roland, actually, I've always liked your quote from the teachings of the Southern Sect 'This world belongs to mortals, and the gods who are high up are just some hypocritical fanatics'"

When one party made its position clear and opened its heart, the communication between the two sides was much easier, and even Roland himself was surprised by the other party's ability and goal, and immediately concluded a blood alliance with him.

After a night of secret talks, Oros handed over the plan that had been prepared for more than ten years to Roland, and Roland perfected it again on top of his plan, and finally, there was a so-called "big plan".

"Big plan? He is worthy of being the strongest conspirator in Bayer's three hundred years, and he really dares to think. But if this plan does succeed, I am afraid it would be right to call him the wisest king of the millennia. ”

This is the evaluation that Roland gave to Oros at that time, and at this time, the wisest king of the millennium did not know if there was one, but Oros, who ruined his reputation step by step and handed his neck to the guillotine, did not hesitate, did not regret, and placed himself on the gallows without fear.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ δΈ€qiΔ“, for the mortal world, for the real ...... Heaven and hell! (To be continued......)
